I think that if we want to maintain the quality of the software, we need 
to add people to the team who are willing to help out in this area. 
These people could then act as test coordinator or tester and need not 
be developers. They would also be credited for their effort.

Relying on the developers to do the testing is not a very efficient use 
of resources in my opinion. And waiting for the userbase to test every 
single game without any coordination could last virtually forever.
